🤔 Just 4 hours before announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs (excluding China), Donald Trump called it a “great time to buy” — and it was.
📈 The Nasdaq saw its biggest intraday jump since 2008, and the U.S. stock market added $4 trillion in 10 minutes after the news.
Now people are wondering — was this all part of a master plan? If Trump crashed the market to buy low with his friends, only to pump it back up later… that would be some 4D chess 🧠♟
But what about those on the losing side of this game? 🤷♂️
Following the US announcement of a 90-day tariff pause, trader sentiment has quickly turned bullish — and crypto is reacting. 🚀
A short-term rally may be in play as retail jumps in… but Santiment warns of extreme FOMO in the market. 👀
Experts caution: don’t get swept up by hype tied to temporary news — the tariff issue is still unresolved, and this could be a classic "kick the can down the road" moment.
#BTC tested a strong support level and made a strong bounce continuing a divergence on several TA indicators. Trend support on daily and weekly shows a bottom. I think will see a trend reversal over the next few weeks as the tariff news settles and more talks of rate cuts.
RSI top-daily time frame. Trend strength bottom- weekly time frame. Chart-daily time frame.
Could we see another massive consolidation trend like our previous bull run? I think 94k - 95k is so easy. Let's see.
Bitcoin surged overnight to $83,500 after Donald Trump suspended additional tariffs for 90 days (for all countries except China). 🚀
In contrast, tariffs on China were raised to 125% in response to China increasing its own tariffs by 84%—a counter to the U.S. raising tariffs to 104%. 😁
In short, China now faces a 125% rate, while the rest of the world, including the EU, will have only the base tariff rate of 10% during the 90-day period. 🔥
🔥 NEW: Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan expects that a weakened dollar will be good for Bitcoin. Long-term, he predicts a shift from a single reserve currency to a more fractured system where Bitcoin plays a bigger role.

JUST IN: Ukraine’s financial regulator proposes a 23% tax on some crypto transactions as personal income, excluding crypto-to-crypto trades and stablecoins.
💲 While the US flirts with stablecoins, Europe toys with CBDCs. Both put fiat on-chain but one plays nice with crypto, the other wants to be fiat 2.0 in a hoodie.
People mix them up, but let’s be clear: stablecoins plug into DeFi and actually do crypto things. CBDCs are just government money with better UX and worse vibes.
👀 Once again, claims are circulating that Binance charges massive fees—up to 15% of a token’s supply or $50–$100 million—for listings. But several crypto leaders are calling this out.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong chimed in, saying their listings are free. Yet, Andre Cronje quickly called this false, revealing that while Binance charged Fantom zero for listing, Coinbase requested up to $300 million at different times. Similarly, Justin Sun shared that Binance listed TRX for free, but Coinbase demanded $80 million in TRX plus a $250 million BTC deposit.
Yi He from Binance clarified that listing depends solely on passing a vetting process, and no amount of money can bypass that.
As the debate heats up, it's clear that the truth behind listing fees is still up for interpretation. 🧐
A Bitcoin address holding 1215 BTC ($77 million), mined in the first two months of the network's launch in 2009, recently transferred 5 BTC to the Kraken exchange. 💰
Some analysts suggest that this address is linked to Hal Finney's family. 🧐
Hal Finney was a key figure in Bitcoin's history, being the recipient of the very first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto. 🥷
There are also theories that he might be the enigmatic creator of the cryptocurrency. 🙀
